Review text

The reviewed book represents the author's PhD thesis of the same title, fulfilled at the end of 1987. The key issues are the loosely-coupled multiprocessors and the functional programming paradigm applied to them. The motivation is clear, as such programs can be manipulated algebraically. The reader will find a large spectrum of aspects, including the hardware features of the loosely-coupled multiprocessor, the design of parallel algorithms which map onto the architecture, the compilation of the programs. Obviously, a certain number of programs are given. However, the clarity could have been improved.
